Q. Do you process insurance claims to my insurance company?
A. No, but most of our Zeal Rx customers can do so easily, direct with their insurance provider by sending them a copy of their Zeal Optics receipt and any claim form the insurance company requires.

Q. What if my Zeal Rx is correct to my prescription, but I feel like I can't adjust to the Rx?
A. For most of us, it is our first time to wear a sport wrap with a prescription. It can take from several hours to several days to adjust to a sport wrap prescription. Common feelings during adjustment may be a headache and/or feeling like looking through a fishbowl. We recommend that you gradually use your Zeal Rx until you feel comfortable wearing them full time. You should not participate in sport activities with your Zeal Rx until you feel comfortable wearing them. If the Rx was made to your correct prescription, but you can not adjust to wearing them comfortably, you can return the frame and rx for a full refund on the frame and 50% refund on full retail price of the Rx lens, within 60 days from purchase date.

What is Polarized?

Chillin in Zeal's ZB13 POLARIZED lenses is one of the most relaxing experiences you will ever have. The proprietary ZB-13 lens color soothes your eyes, enhances vision and allows for your eyes to adjust to the always changing lighting conditions.

Our ZB-13 Polarized lenses have a layered filter between the lens that cuts out horizontal glare whichis especially associated with driving, water and snow sports.


DO I NEED POLARIZED LENSES?

POLARIZED lenses are an essential lens for anyone who spends a lot of time out-side where GLARE is a factor. Different conditions require specific lens colors and treatments. Although Polarized is an ideal lens for many conditions, it is not ideal for every condition or every sport. For activities that involve polarizing glare such as driving, water sports & snowsports, ZB-13 POLARIZED provides the optimum protection.

How A Polarized Lens Works:
When light reflects off shiny surfaces, the glare causing wavelengths "polarize" from a vertical to a horizontal plane. ZEAL polarized lenses BLOCKS the glare causing wavelengths with thin microscopic horizontal lines in the polarizing film, enhancing the good color wavelengths.
